- .@jacindaardern showed the world a new style of leadership by deciding to foreground kindness and empathy. Her example has been a shining light to many, especially women. I congratulate her on all she has achieved to date and wish her well in this next phase of her life.
- Congratulations to @jacindaardern and @nzlabour. You have led NZ through difficult times, with an understanding of the special power of kindness. Your leadership will continue to inspire people around the world, especially women.
- My sincere condolences to @ScottMorrisonMP on the death of his father John. Losing your dad is always hard, and even more so when you are serving as PM. My thoughts are with him and his family.
- Congratulations to @ScottMorrisonMP - always an honour to serve. To the 29th PM, from the 27th PM, @TurnbullMalcolm there is a life after. Best wishes for the days to come.
- Thanks to all at #March4Justice today for raising your voices against misogyny & violence against women. I honour your passion for action & courage of those who have spoken out. I hope today’s decision makers hear #enoughisenough & it’s time for lasting change & real justice.
- Bob Hawke was the greatest peacetime leader Australia has ever had. As a teenager Bob inspired me, as a PM he guided me. I will miss him. I wish so very much that Bob had been able to see one more election day. My condolences to Blanche, his children and grandchildren.
- Thanks to Kate, who passed this note to me on a flight recently. I didn’t get to meet you to thank you, but I really appreciate your generous words.
- We stand united with our friends in New Zealand. Tonight there are children going to bed missing a parent. Parents who have lost a child. Their tragic losses follow acts of cowardly hatred. Let’s honour their memories by strengthening our commitment to compassion and love.
- The High Court of Australia has today issued its decision on the case involving Cardinal George Pell. I do not intend to comment on that judgement. But I do wish to address the impact on our community.
00:00 - Australian women are still undervalued in the workforce, earning 13.8% or $255.30 a week less than men, which can have negative economic and social impacts over a lifetime. Thrilled to see @AlboMP’s policy to make gender pay equity an objective of the Fair Work Act.
- Thank you America for showing that while democracy can be messy, it works, and for embracing a future of hope and reason. Congratulations to President-elect @JoeBiden
- I fully endorse these words and Michelle Obama’s call to all of us to keep fighting for women’s rights.My thoughts on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
- A courageous concession speech from @billshortenmp. He and the entire @AustralianLabor team can be extremely proud of a campaign that put the ALP values of fairness and equality front and centre. I’m certainly proud of all of you.
